Now that we're in the first full week of October, it's time to get your autumn outerwear sorted. Because although the temperatures are at that tipping point between brisk and truly bitter, they're not quite cold enough to warrant a winter coat. Luckily, Mango's new collection, which has a nostalgic feel with all its baseball hats, sweatshirts and blazers (hello, '90s), is full of transitional jackets that feel right for now.
I particularly like the Reversible Faux-Fur Shearling-Lined Jacket, a cropped aviator that, worn on the oversized side, would look cute (and possibly quite French?) over a striped sweater and wide-leg jeans. The Houndstooth Wool-Blend Blazer, which has a cropped length and pronounced shoulders, would sharpen your office look instantly while the Belt Leather Jacket, on the other hand, is just the thing for off-duty (worn over a spriggy-print dress with slouchy suede boots). The quilted jacket has become a real high street hero this autumn; Mango's satin version is one of the best for £59.99. Keep scrolling for all the best jackets, overshirts and light coats that will see you right for the next few months.
